You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Chen Huai'an placed the last Body Refining Pill into the purple gourd.

"Huh? I put this Body Refining Pill in the gourd. There's water in the gourd. Won't the medicine dissolve?" Chen Huai'an suddenly slapped his forehead. He realized he had done something stupid.

"Whatever, even if the medicine dissolves, I'll only lose one Body Refining Pill. If the water in this gourd can improve my condition, that would be good too." Chen Huai'an tried to comfort himself and calm himself down.

The elixir has already been placed in the water and has come into contact with it; it may have already dissolved and dissolved into the water.

Then, Chen Huai'an took another sip of water from the gourd.

"No improvement, just like before." Chen Huai'an keenly noticed that adding the Body Refining Pill to the water didn't make it taste as good as he had thought. It just felt warm and cozy in his stomach, just like before.

Chen Huai'an ignored everything outside the window and focused on circulating his energy according to the body-refining manual.

Previously, after drinking the spiritual spring water, Chen Huai'an had been haphazardly releasing the spiritual energy. But after some interaction, Chen Huai'an also learned how to cultivate: use his will to control the medicinal power, open up the meridians in his body, and form a perfect cycle.

At this moment, the quality of your spiritual root aptitude determines your cultivation speed.

Some geniuses, with the help of the body-refining pills, loosen the blocked meridians in their bodies, drawing out the medicinal power and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth entering their bodies to flush out the blocked meridians, allowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enter their bodies unimpeded and form a perfect cycle.

This step is called body tempering, which involves refining the physical body.

He didn't understand before, but now that he does, Chen Huai'an has no choice but to concentrate his mind to open up the blocked meridians in his body.

Imagination is often grand, but reality is often harsh.

Having mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, with too many impurities in the body and blocked meridians, cultivation is extremely difficult.

The spiritual energy of a mouthful of spiritual spring water is equivalent to a low-grade body-refining pill, yet he exhausted it without even opening a single meridian.

"It would be impossible to open up these blocked meridians without hundreds of Body Refining Pills," Chen Huai'an said with a sigh after finishing his cultivation.

This also reflects a problem: his purple gourd is a treasure.

This also made Chen Huai'an understand why wealth is ranked first in the cultivation world.

"Huh, what's going on? The spiritual spring water is gone." Chen Huai'an decided to continue cultivating in one go. He suddenly realized that no more spiritual spring water could be poured out of the gourd; he had drunk it all.

Chen Huai'an remembered that the water in his gourd could last him ten days or half a month without any problem, but now, he only drank it a few times before it was all gone.

Without this spiritual spring water, how will he cultivate in the future?

Chen Huai'an immediately became anxious and stopped cultivating. He prepared to go down the mountain to collect some spring water.

What worries Chen Huai'an is that once the water is put into the gourd, it will lose its current efficacy.

There is a large water vat in the courtyard of Zayi Peak. The water is carried by the servant disciples from the stream at the foot of the mountain.

A vat of water, poured into this gourd, doesn't even cause a ripple.

Chen Huai'an had no choice but to go down the mountain to fetch more water.

"Wait, something's not right. This water isn't much different from regular water, just a little sweeter. It doesn't have that warm feeling when you drink it." When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Chen Huai'an realized that the water he had just put into the gourd didn't have that warming effect.

In an instant, Chen Huai'an's heart sank to the bottom.

The purple gourd was his hope for rising to prominence in the Qingyun Sect, but now, that hope is about to be shattered.

"Wait, something's not right. This water has that warm, cozy feeling now." When Chen Huai'an arrived at the foot of Zayi Peak, he took another sip of water from the gourd and discovered that the water had changed taste again.

"Could it be that the longer the water is left in the gourd, the better the effect?" A big question mark appeared in Chen Huai'an's mind.

If it's really as he thinks, then the water in this gourd must be used wisely.

Leaving the water in the gourd for an extra day will make a world of difference in the results.

Right now, all Chen Huai'an needs to do is fill the gourd.

"Glug... Glug..."

Arriving at the stream, Chen Huai placed the gourd in the water, and the emerald green stream water flowed into the gourd through its opening.

"I thought this gourd would never be full." It wasn't until sunset that Chen Huai'an realized the gourd was full.

Chen Huai'an had no idea how much water it contained, but when he held the gourd in his hand, he couldn't feel much weight at all.

The next step is to wait and see if it matches his guess.

Back at his lodgings, Chen Huai'an drank another mouthful of water from the gourd, instantly dispelling the fatigue from the journey up the mountain.

"Could it be that putting the Body Refining Pill into the gourd doesn't provide any boost?" A night passed, and Chen Huai'an discovered that the water in the gourd hadn't increased in size despite having the Body Refining Pill inside.

This Body Refining Pill is probably wasted.

Chen Huai'an suspected that the gourd could only improve the water inside it, but wouldn't improve anything else.

"I wonder if I'll be able to enter the gourd space today."

Chen Huai'an silently recited "enter" once, and then, after a dizzying sensation, he entered the gourd space.

"Huh, what's this? My Body Refining Pill?" Chen Huai'an looked around. There were no other changes since he entered the space, except for a small ball of light emitting a faint golden glow.

Chen Huai'an reached out, and the pill fell into his hand. It was a pill only the size of a peanut, and it was somewhat different from the Body Refining Pill that he had put into the gourd before.

Previously, it was dark and had a burnt smell, but this one doesn't have that burnt smell. Instead, it has a faint medicinal fragrance that is refreshing just by smelling it.

"Could this gourd produce delicious spiritual spring water and even upgrade pills by one grade?" Chen Huai'an muttered to himself.

Ordinary body-refining pills offer no help to Chen Huai'an's cultivation speed; their effect is even less than the spiritual spring water in the gourd. But this pill before him, though he couldn't discern its grade, was clearly a high-quality item just from its aroma.

Furthermore, the spiritual spring in the space has undergone some changes, and there are more of it than before.

Chen Huai'an filled this gourd with a lot of water, so why is there only this little bit?

Chen Huai'an emerged from the gourd space, a pale golden Body Refining Pill in his hand.

Without much hesitation, Chen Huai'an swallowed the pill.

Because he didn't have much time left, he only had six days.

The miscellaneous disciples who entered the sect in the same batch spent all their time meditating and cultivating, except when they went to the canteen to eat, in preparation for the seven-day entrance test.

These menial disciples all have better aptitude and talent than him, so he has to put in several times the effort of the others.

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to improve his strength.

Once the pill entered my stomach, there was no explosive power spreading through my body. It was just like drinking the spiritual spring water from the gourd, warm and comforting.

As time went by, he used his mind to control the gentle medicinal power emanating from the pill, using it to break through the blocked meridians in his energy circulation path.

The spiritual spring water in the gourd was enough for Chen Huai'an to drink a cup of tea before his energy was exhausted.

After taking this body-refining pill, which had been tempered by a purple gourd, he cultivated for a full hour before the medicinal power was fully absorbed and refined.

With the help of this pill, Chen Huai'an opened up two blocked meridians.

One pill is equivalent to the time he spent cultivating with spiritual spring water yesterday.

In this way, if one takes twelve of these pills a day, it is equivalent to cultivating for twelve more days.

There are only six days left until the entrance test for the menial disciple. Taking ten of these pills every day is equivalent to cultivating for an extra sixty days. In two months, even if his aptitude is poor, he will be able to open up the blocked meridians in his body to form a perfect closed loop and reach the first level of the Body Refinement Realm.

"The items are good, but the sect only gave us two, and we even wasted one. How am I supposed to get 60?" Chen Huai'an frowned.
